Since the recent rebound in COVID-19 in the United States was serious, the Council of Europe decided in August 30th to delete it from the "safety list" of the source of tourists.
The United States is the country with the most serious epidemic in the world. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention, more than 142000 new confirmed cases in the United States in the week ended the 25th, an increase of 107.2% over the peak in July. Israel, Lebanon, Montenegro and Northern Macedonia were also deleted from the EU's "security list" together with the United States.
The European Union regularly conducts scientific assessments of COVID-19 from the source of tourists, and updates the entry restrictions' safety list 'according to the assessment results, and puts forward the guidance advice for epidemic prevention at borders. The guidance on epidemic prevention is applicable to 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, but it is not mandatory.
According to the recommendations of the European Council, stricter epidemic prevention restrictions should be implemented for non essential travelers from countries and regions outside the "safe list", while for non essential travelers from countries and regions on the "safe list", the entry epidemic prevention restrictions should be gradually lifted.
